The Stable Where Jesus Was Born

This is the stable where Jesus was born.
This is the cow in the sweet-smelling hay,
the cat and her kittens and three mice at play,
that lived in the stable where Jesus was born.

The gentle beauty of the Nativity is told in cumulative rhyme by Rhonda Gowler Greene, introducing the youngest readers to the miracle of the Christ Child's birth and to those who first gazed upon the Babe, including his parents, shepherds, an angel, a cow, a cat and her kittens, and even some mice.

Luminous paintings by Susan Gaber transport the reader to the town of Bethlehem, to the time when the world glimmered with the hope of that first Christmas night.
